If you are traveling for short-term purposes, you are not allowed to bring more than 1 kg of gold jewelry. However, if you are currently bringing 10 grams of gold, you will have to pay a customs duty of 35% plus a 3.5% surcharge, making a total of 38.5% customs duty.
Now, you may ask about duty-free gold. Well, the rules are different if you have been living outside India for more than a year. Women can carry gold jewelry worth up to Rs 1 lakh duty-free. The limit for men is up to Rs 50,000. Children who have been living outside India for more than a year can also bring gold duty-free.
However, there are some points to note before carrying gold:
Gold coins, gold bars, and biscuits are not eligible for duty-free allowance. Only gold jewelry is allowed.
It is mandatory to declare the gold at the Indian airport. Failure to do so can result in hefty fines.
The price of gold will be calculated based on the Indian government's notified value.
Always carry gold jewelry in your carry-on hand luggage and not in your checked baggage.
Please note that these regulations are subject to change, and it's essential to stay updated with the latest guidelines from the Indian customs authorities.
